[asterisk-users] PBX selection

[Victor Villarreal]

Hi Speed Boy.

I agree with Emiliano Vazquez too.

Additionally, you and your team must think others points before choose
Asterisk:

* Asterisk is build to work on Linux. So your team needs some skills like
setting up a basic Linux server (Debian, Centos, etc), donwload software
from Internet, compile and install software manually.

* Your team must know how to configure Linux networking. And solve NAT
issue if apply. Basic network protocols like UDP, SIP and SDP/RDP are
welcome.

* If Asterisk needs interact with external world via VOIP provider, then
you must know how to configure SIP or IAX2 trunks. If you have analog (like
FXO) or digitals lines (like ISDN or similar), then you need ti know how to
install and configure hardware on the Linux server like telephony cards
(PCI-e or PCI) or configure VOIP gateways.

* Security: How to install and configure a basic firewall (using iptables),
o Fail2Ban. And best practices in Asterisk about this topics.

Cheers
